Bandana Jain is a contemporary artist from Mumbai who is interested in sustainability and how it affects the environment and our daily lives as consumers. She also draws inspiration from it when using unconventional materials to create her artwork. She claims that these items, which other people would typically refer to as "kachra," are those that she discovers in the scrapyard.
Jain has taken this very fascination to create her latest series of artworks called ‘Consumerism’ with the help of discarded cardboard. She explains, “I collect old cartons that are commonly used for packaging materials. After opening the packaging, I carefully source and cut the four flaps and the top and bottom sections of the carton. I then patch these pieces together to create sheets that serve as the foundation for my work.”
